Understand your risk for cancer

The first step to experiencing more reassurance is evaluating your risk for cancer. Lifestyle, age, health history and family history all impact your personal risk for developing cancer in your lifetime. Understanding your risk is important in knowing which screenings you should schedule, increasing the likelihood of early detection and giving you more treatment options.
